If the Patriots choose to draft a cornerback this week, UConn's Blidi Wreh-Wilson has been one name to continuously pop up because of a size and strength factor that fits their recent style in the secondary.

But there might be some hesitancy. After all, the UConn product is viewed as a second-rounder, so there are some obvious parallels between him and Darius Butler, a 2009 second-round pick who was released in 2011. But NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said the two players are completely different, so the comparisons can remain peripheral.

"Darius Butler was undersized," Jeremiah said. "(Wreh-Wilson) is a big kid. Darius Butler was faster than this kid. I think (Wreh-Wilson) is just a better football player coming out. But that's understandable when you zonked on a player at the position of the same school, it does make it interesting to go back to that well."
